Automating all the wrong things - You Gotta Love Frontend Keynote

In the last year or so things changed drastically. Everybody uses an iPhone6, is connected 24/7 at high-speed without data caps, is healthy, has shiny teeth and loves spending money on your products. All you need to do is constantly innovate and you'll be a major success. The term for this is "the modern web". Another word for it is nonsense. There is a web people want and there is one that people use. We should start thinking about upgrading the one people use and stop chasing our own tail trying to mimick other environments.

This document summarizes a presentation about improving efficiency and performance on the web. It discusses Moore's Law, which states that computers get faster every two years, and May's Law, which says software efficiency halves every 18 months to compensate. However, web development has focused too much on innovation and new technologies rather than optimization. As a result, median page load times are over 5 seconds. The document calls for developers to focus on fixing existing issues, improving efficiency, and testing new standards like ES6 before adopting them widely. It argues for less hype and more focus on users, technical limitations, and fixing broken aspects of the current web.

This document summarizes a talk given by Chris Heilmann on the current state and future of JavaScript. It notes that while JavaScript has become incredibly versatile, developers have a tendency to over-engineer solutions and add unnecessary complexity. This bloat slows down sites and hurts users. The document advocates taking a step back to focus on fundamentals and cleanup. It highlights upcoming ES6 features that provide a cleaner baseline and encourages using them responsibly while also fixing existing broken code.

This document discusses responsible and up-to-date use of JavaScript. It recommends directly learning JavaScript instead of relying on libraries without understanding. Browser tools and editors have improved, removing the need for user agent sniffing or outdated polyfills. New JavaScript features like ES6 are supported in modern browsers through transpilation or superset languages. The overall message is that JavaScript has matured and developers should embrace new capabilities instead of clinging to past workarounds.

The document discusses the current state of web development and identifies several issues, including slow page loading times, large file sizes, reliance on outdated libraries and browser hacks, and an emphasis on flashy innovations over foundational web standards. It argues that as an industry, web development has gotten too complex and focuses too much on impressing other developers rather than meeting users' needs. It calls for simplifying solutions, supporting baseline functionality for all browsers, and prioritizing education and collaboration over quick fixes.

The document discusses the pros and cons of using JavaScript on websites. It argues that while JavaScript reliability can be an issue, it also enables many useful features and experiences. JavaScript allows websites to take advantage of user device capabilities in ways that aren't possible without client-side scripting. The document urges moving past arguments against JavaScript and embracing new paradigms like components and functional programming to build higher quality web experiences.

This document discusses challenges facing the open web in a mobile-dominated world. It describes how mobile native platforms are stacked against the mobile web, providing better monetization and a perception that everything must work offline. It discusses the five stages of mourning for the open web, from denial to acceptance. It argues for focusing on simplicity, understanding other perspectives, and promoting the web through love instead of criticism.

The document discusses using JavaScript like a buffet, where developers should be flexible and not try to do everything with JavaScript or force their preferences on others. It encourages sharing code openly but also being considerate of different environments and users. Developers are advised to focus on quality over quantity and consider progressive enhancement over delivering all functionality at once.

A talk about innovation and impostor syndrome. A talk about the next web that's coming and the technology we have, but forgot.

We're past the honeymoon period of HTML5 by now. The excitement of inflated promises is over and we start wondering what to do – use HTML5 or just build an iOS app instead? In this talk Chris Heilmann of Mozilla will show what HTML5 is really good for, what its problems are, what causes a lot of these problems and how new operating systems like Firefox OS work and conversion tools like PhoneGap work around these issues. You'll see the now of HTML5 and what is cooking in the kitchens of browser makers and standards bodies that will developing and deploying apps cross-platform much easier than it is now. We have a lot of tools at our disposal, we simply need to dare to use them.

A keynote at a startup event in Berlin about Machine Learning and how we can help bridge the gap for end users with our products.

A quick reminder of how we make it too complex for ourselves as web developers these days, and how changes in the browser world mean mainly one thing: build to standards.

- The web development community needs to focus more on quality, accessibility, and standards compliance rather than constant innovation and new techniques. Browsers have come a long way but still struggle to balance implementing new features while maintaining compatibility. - Web pages have gotten slower and larger over time due to an emphasis on appearance over performance and a reluctance to drop legacy techniques. Many modern solutions make the web more complex without real benefits. - Developers should provide better feedback to browsers, demand stronger support for baseline functionality, and stop catering to outdated browsers to encourage continued progress toward an interoperable web. Simpler, more sustainable approaches would benefit all.

The document discusses how machines and software can help humans by doing tasks like preventing mistakes, performing repetitive tasks, filling information gaps, remembering and categorizing information, improving understanding, enabling new communication methods, and providing protection. It describes how advances in AI, APIs, cloud services, and data processing have made it possible to build useful and helpful interfaces. The conclusion encourages developers to use these capabilities to create simple, human-centric interfaces that benefit users.

The document discusses strategies for responsibly using JavaScript. It recommends: 1. Learning JavaScript fundamentals directly rather than relying on copying code. 2. Stop supporting outdated browsers like Internet Explorer and instead focus on modern standards. 3. Avoid browser detection and stop introducing non-standard code that breaks websites. 4. Leverage powerful developer tools and modern frameworks rather than workarounds. 5. Evolve use of JavaScript by adopting modern standards like ES2015 using compilers rather than blaming language shortcomings.

A talk about future technologies of the web, and how our time is equally well spent cleaning up the web of now.

This document discusses JavaScript and ES6. It covers some of the historical issues with JavaScript, the learning process, dependency on libraries/frameworks, and new features in ES6. It also discusses transpiling code to support older browsers, standards and interoperability challenges, and new JavaScript engines like ChakraCore that could break monopolies.

This document discusses the changing landscape of VAT and cross-border retailing. It outlines various risks and obligations for UK retailers selling goods and digital services to customers in other EU countries and non-EU countries. Key points include the introduction of the Mini One Stop Shop (MOSS) system in 2015, which allows UK retailers to register for VAT in all EU countries via a single online registration, and determining the correct place of supply and applicable VAT rate for different types of cross-border transactions. The document provides checklists for ensuring transactions are taxed correctly and systems are compliant with various EU VAT rules and regulations.

The document discusses the future of computing and artificial intelligence. It notes that people are both excited and fearful about technological progress, and outlines things that are going right (e.g. advances in machine learning and computer vision) as well as things that are going wrong (e.g. lack of transparency, data privacy issues). It argues that the future of computing needs people who are not afraid of technology and who will create interfaces that are simple, human, and help people communicate better. The role of technologists is to use their skills to give people a sense of data ownership and ensure technological progress improves lives rather than just making money.

This document discusses stresses in large horizontal cylindrical pressure vessels supported on two saddles. It provides formulas to calculate stresses under various conditions and support designs. The maximum longitudinal stress is calculated based on the cylindrical shell acting as a beam over the two supports, with the equivalent length being the vessel length plus one-third the head height. Strain gauge tests were used to validate the stress calculations. Design recommendations are given in figures based on the material and liquid weight, to determine the most economical support locations and need for stiffening rings.

The document discusses the challenges facing the progressive web and introduces progressive web apps (PWAs) as a solution. PWAs are built using modern web standards to provide native app-like experiences through features like push notifications, offline support, and app installation. They address issues with native apps like high installation friction, lack of control for publishers, and app store policies. PWAs are gaining adoption from companies like Alibaba and Housing.com who saw increases in user engagement metrics after implementing PWAs. The document outlines the core components of PWAs and provides an overview of browser and platform support.

This document summarizes a talk given by Chris Heilmann at ForwardJS in 2015. Heilmann discusses the state of web development technologies and how developers have focused too much on experimental features that are not ready for production use. This has led to a fragmented web where browsers implement features differently. He argues developers should focus on standardizing and improving existing web standards rather than constantly introducing new technologies. ES6 is highlighted as a priority for improving existing JavaScript.

It is easy to think what we have as developers is what people use and that lead us to make the web bloated.

The world has changed. Users now have increasing freedom as they can access our portals through desktops, laptops, tablets and phones. We face three choices in meeting the increasing need to be pervasive: build to the various devices users may have (e.g. native), build to the browser (e.g. responsive web design) or hybrid of both native and web. This session seeks to overview and evaluate the implications of these three choices. Furthermore, we will describe how uPortal can fit into pervasive computing picture. This session will share the lessons learned at BYU as we have struggled to navigate the ever changing world of our users.

This document discusses preparing for the "mobilacalypse", which refers to the tipping point when building websites for a single channel locks out users, but building for multiple channels is too expensive. It argues that mobile users are already a large portion of internet users and want the same content as desktop users. The best approach is to manage one pool of structured content and decouple it from presentation, exposing the content through APIs. This allows content to be reused across many channels without duplicating effort. Key steps are to identify assets, model meaning over appearance, expose content feeds, and support content editors.

This document discusses ways to improve how web developers learn best practices through browser and tooling improvements. It suggests that linting and inline insights directly in code editors could help prevent mistakes by flagging issues early. A tool called webhint is highlighted that provides one-stop checking and explanations of hints related to performance, accessibility, security and more. The document advocates for customizing hints based on a project's specific needs and environment. Overall, it argues for accelerated learning through context-sensitive, customizable best practices integrated into development workflows.

This document discusses privilege in the context of social media and the internet. It acknowledges privileges like internet access, the ability to communicate, and supportive online communities. It warns that machine learning and algorithms risk creating echo chambers and guided messaging if they are not kept in check by human curation. The document advocates taking back the web for decent, thinking and loving humans and using privileges to help others gain access to learning, communication, and communities.
